SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex 0.5 enhances the skin's texture to promote a brighter, more youthful complexion. Formulated for skin tolerant to retinol treatments, it stimulates collagen production and enhances faster cell renewal to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: smooths and refines skin's texture and enhances radiance
- PhytoShield™ Complex: an antioxidant complex, enhances skin texture and minimizes irritation
Key Benefits:
- Enhances skin tone, texture, and resiliency
- Diminishes appearance of fine lines and coarse wrinkles
- Appropriate for all skin types pre-conditioned by using Retinol Complex 0.25 or another retinoid product
Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated. Mild redness, peeling and irritation is expected when using this product. Use daily sun protection with SPF 20 or higher during use of this product. Avoid getting in eyes.

Game Changer
Love this product so far! It's changed my skin in only half a use. Waiting to really up my game and move to 1.0 and then I will know whether it's worthy of 5 stars. It's helped with some redness, and blemishes thus far. I'm not a huge fan of not being able to see how much is in the bottle so that's why I'm rating it 3 stars. The pumps usually give out and you end up with less. I prefer a metal squeeze tube.

Nice so far
I was a little scared at first because i had read before that retinol products are a bit harsh. I am 33 yrs and a skincare product junkie so i still had to try it (i am not getting any younger but would love to avoid looking older!). I must say, so far its a great product. My skin drinks it very well. I dont feel it harsh.

Helped my skin complexion!
I started using this product about a year ago and haven't stopped! It has dramatically improved my complexion and I couldn't be happier! If I could give this product more than 5 stars I would!

Great medium Retinol strength
SkinMedica is my go to Retinol serum. I typically use the 1.0 but I have been experiencing more dryness. I switched to the .05 and I am very happy with it.

Great Brand
Good product with smooth finish. I would recommend this product, especially if you're starting a new skincare regimen because it is easy to incorporate.

Great product!
Was recommended by my dermatologist and has been working great! I started with the 0.25 and have since moved up to the 0.5.

Working great so far!
Has worked well. I have been using for 2-3 weeks and have noticed a difference. It has not dried me out too bad. I use it with a drugstore brand moisturizer.

Great Retinol
This product was recommended by my dermatologist and I have been using it for 2 years. It works slowly but well, with out irritating my skin or being too harsh. Get a good moisturizer to use on top. Great packaging / pump, dispenses the perfect amount.

Awesome retinol
Got a sample of this recently and absolutely love how gentle it is on sensitive skin! Considering buying the full size as I like this more than the retinol I was trying from drunk elephant.
